Opinion: The Freedom Of Dangling Breasts, By Bámidélé Adémólá-Olátéjú

They have also prompted a reset. Like those of others, my world has been altered in unimaginable ways. Simple things like attending a party, enjoying meals with family and friends in a restaurant, have all become a distant blur. I have clothes and shoes I can’t wear and bags I can’t carry. Over the course of a few days in late March, it dawned on me that we actually dress to impress.

Even though this year is a year missed, I have learnt how to make something of my life with far fewer resources and far fewer interactions. I hope you have been able to find pleasure in forced solitude and a renewed interest in the beauty of nature. It is not all doom and gloom though. We all have the capacity to find comfort in our own curious ways. I have tried to stay sane by walking the sidewalk when the sun goes down, I have enjoyed communion with the pavement and shrubs on the hiking trail I frequent. I have thought about you, dear reader. I have looked beyond the fight to survive, beyond the fight to be normal, beyond the anxiety, to see the out-of-sight and the unseen people that are hurting.

Even though this year is a year missed, I have learnt how to make something of my life with far fewer resources and far fewer interactions. I hope you have been able to find pleasure in forced solitude and a renewed interest in the beauty of nature. In the face of a vicious virus that picks its victims, seeing a new day is a win and survival is an accomplishment. Do not dare this virus, keep wearing your masks and observe social distancing.

Our Poor, Between the World Bank and a Softening Naira, By Uddin Ifeanyi - Premium Times OpinionNow that it is official ― the World Bank is dragging its foot on Nigeria’s request for a bailout loan because Nigeria is balking at implementing reforms, especially to its exchange rate regime ― we do well to consider both alternatives.
